LibreOffice Writer disappeared after an update and I can't install it

[yasirel]

Ubuntu Version:
Example: 25.10

Problem Description:
Hello. Excuse me if I am asking here and not through other platforms, I am still introducing myself to the Ubuntu ecosystem. Today, I got an update notification in Ubuntu 25.10 and I installed it. After doing so, LibreOffice Writer has disappeared and there is no way to recover the program. I am leaving a screenshot of Synaptic. I don’t know if I did something wrong during the update or if it’s a bug/error. I am attaching a screenshot of Synaptic (in Spanish) and App Store.

In the meantime, I have downloaded the Snap version, but I would prefer the system package other one since I only use LibreOffice Writer and it seems to load a bit faster.

Please post the output from running the following commands in Terminal -

sudo apt update
apt-cache policy
apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
apt-cache policy libreoffice-uiconfig-writer

I updated on a second computer and it gave me the same problem. I’ll copy the text for you. Thanks.

Thanks. Does this command fix it? -

sudo apt install 'libreoffice-uiconfig-writer=4:25.8.1~rc1-0ubuntu1' libreoffice-writer

If you have amd64v3 architecture enabled libreoffice is broken with a partially missing update. I guess it will be fixed soon but in the meantime you can manually install the amd64 packages instead (for instance you can disable amd64v3 temporarily, manually install the libreoffice stuff you need, and then re-enable amd64v3 again).

Thank you very much! That solved it.

@fprietog Yes, I have the amd64v3 architecture enabled. Maybe that was the reason for the error. Thanks for the help, too. Very much appreciated.
